NOTES.
1. The relay fits nicely inside the instrument housing, just under the cover,
and is held in place by cable ties (see pic). The connecting cables come in fromunderneath with all the other cables.
2. Power to switch the relay comes fro m the high beam light (white wire).
I used a Scotchloc because it’s quick and simple and doesn’t involvecutting any of the bikes wires.
3. I haven’t put a switch on mine as I live out in the sticks and I’m not likely to want
to switch them off. But if you live in town, for example, you may feel you need to fita switch. Maplin electronic stores do a nice flush switch that’ll fit in or under the
instrument housing (see pic).
4. A connector for the lighting bar is a good idea in case you need to remove the
whole thing. The connector fits neatly up inside the instrument housing keeping the
weather off yet still making it easy to get at. If you can’t get any two pole typeconnectors you can always use a couple of crimp bullet connectors, only make sure
that the live wire has the female fitting to avoid any shorts when disconnected.
5. The cable loom is split to each lamp inside the lighting bar. I’ve used soldered
splices (like those in Jap looms). This is done by trimming off the insulation, twisting
the wires together, and soldering. The whole lot is then insulated with heatshrink tubing (see pic), but you could use crimp splices if you have enough room inside
your chosen bar.

Dispersion pattern, bike on main stand,
3 metres from garage door.
Well there it is! I think I’ve covered everything. Of course
this is only my way of doing it, there are many other ways of achieving the same result but it’s definitely worth doing if
you’re fed up with the GS’s useless high beam.
I hope you all find this useful. If you want any more info
then drop me a mail and I’ll see what I can do.
NOTES (Cont.)
6. The material used for the bar was a length of 16mm square section
aluminium tube which started life as a fold-up push chair! After drilling all the
necessary holes I covered it with heatshrink tubing to give a good durable
finish which was far quicker than spraying it. Any sort of bar would dothough, my mate used stainless steel tube for his. The lamps are held in place
on the bar by pop rivets, which are quick and easy, and angled outwards about
2 degrees. This is due to the bar being shaped like that but gave a good overalllight dispersion (see pic) so you may want to consider this when mounting the
lamps.
The comp lete assembly is held in place by two M5 socket cap screws, thesereplace the two Phillips screws located forward most on the underside of the
beak. The two nylon washers are used to pack out the slight recess in whichthe Phillips screws sat. Although these Phillips screws only hold the bodywork
in place they are sufficient for mounting the lighting bar on as there’s not
much weight involved. But don’t over-tighten them or you’ll strip the brass
inserts.
